Water restoration for agricultural lagoons
Neighbor complaints, inspector visits, a crust that means pumping problems. A lagoon that's gone anaerobic makes itself everyone's business. You have zero patience for marketing, which suits us.
The problems we see on your water
What Alchemal installs and takes responsibility for
Odor and sludge are what a lagoon does when its biology runs out of oxygen. Nanobubble oxygenation keeps the water column aerobic, so waste breaks down instead of souring: less hydrogen sulfide leaving the surface, slower sludge accumulation, and readings you can show an inspector. It runs continuously; nothing about your operation stops.
The proof is operational: odor-complaint counts before and after, sludge-depth surveys, and the readings themselves, all measured against a baseline taken before any commitment. Heavily loaded lagoons need a load-matched system size. The site assessment establishes it, and Stewardship keeps the record honest from there.
Proof from your peers
Our first published case files for this audience are being measured now. Every installation is instrumented from day one, and our methodology shows what we record and how we report it.
What an assessment involves
- A specialist visits your site and profiles the water: dissolved oxygen top to bottom, clarity, and the condition of the sediment.
- You get a written baseline: the numbers on day 0, dated, in plain language.
- We propose a plan with a prediction attached: what should move, by when, and how we'll both know. If oxygenation isn't the right fix, the report says so.
Questions your procurement will ask
Does installation interrupt the operation?
No. The system installs at the lagoon as it stands and runs continuously; nothing about pumping, loading, or the operating schedule stops.
How does this fit our permit and compliance framework?
We integrate with it, never replace it. Lagoons are engineered systems with permits; the operator's compliance framework governs, and our measurements are built to stand up in front of an inspector.
We tried an aerator and blew the power budget. How is this different?
Transfer efficiency. Large bubbles surface in seconds and hand most of their oxygen back to the air; nanobubbles stay suspended and give it up in the water. The assessment sizes the system to your load. An under-sized system fails, and we won't quote one.

A water assessment puts a baseline on paper before any commitment. Your water, your numbers.
